                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosme Polese Borges and his co-authors published a new article “Green hydrogen production in a semi-arid region: A system dynamics analysis of water supply alternatives” in Sustainable Futures.</p><p>This study applies a system dynamics model to examine how water-supply strategies—recycled water and seawater desalination—affect large-scale green hydrogen production in Ceará, Brazil, (2026–2050). Results show water architecture strongly shapes hydrogen output and operational burdens. Desalination scenarios produce moderate volumes (≈397–509 kt/year) but require the most energy and generate significant brine loads, increasing coastal pressures. A transitional mix yields the lowest output (≈252 kt/year) due to poorly aligned infrastructure expansion. In contrast, a fully circular recycled-water scenario delivers the highest production (≈862 kt/year), eliminates brine discharge and reduces energy intensity. The findings highlight water governance as a strategic factor for equitable, sustainable hydrogen development in semi-arid regions.<br>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How is hydrogen advancing the energy transition in Bremen – and what role does research play in this? We discussed this on January 14, 2026, at a special meeting of the Deputation for Economic Affairs &amp; Ports and hyBit in the DIGITAL HUB INDUSTRY Bremen. After an overview of current projects in Bremen and Bremerhaven (including core network connection, Hydrogen Valley), Torben Stührmann provided insight into hyBit research. A key finding: transformation needs guidance. This is where hyBit comes in – with digital tools, reliable data, and participatory formats that help simplify complex decisions and enable scaling.<br>A special highlight of the visit was a tour of our Virtual Transformation Lab (VTL). Here, we develop interactive, data-based, and participatory formats that enable transparent and traceable decisions.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FGRES research fellow Cosme Polese Borges recenty published <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960148125027909?dgcid=coauthor" target="_blank" class="external-link" rel="noreferrer">an article</a> titled “Beyond payback time: Understanding residential preferences for distributed solar PV in southern Brazil” in Renewable Energy. The paper, co-authored by Brazilian (Federal University of Santa Catarina) and North American (Michigan State University) researchers, uses a discrete choice experiment and demonstrates that non-financial factors such as installation warranties, technical assistance, and access to decentralized energy grids are as influential as simple cost recovery in shaping residential solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption. The findings are particularly relevant for fast-developing countries, where infrastructure gaps persist and regulatory frameworks often evolve more slowly than technological diffusion. In such contexts, decentralized PV systems can meaningfully support energy transitions when embedded within robust governance arrangements, service provision, and institutional support structures. The study aligns with the FGRES research perspective that energy systems are broader sociotechnical systems, in which end-users play an active role in shaping adoption dynamics, system resilience, and long-term sustainability outcomes.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thirteen early career researchers from the hyBit project participated in a hyBit Winter School in Cottbus on November 24-28, 2025. The group included five FGRES team members – Cristina Oballe, Olga Masyutina, Cosme Polese Borges, Karl Fehrs and Jannes Katner. The objective of the Winter School was to learn about industrial transformation and the development of a hydrogen economy in the region of Lusatia – a region that has depended heavily on coal mining and energy-intensive industries, and is now undergoing significant structural changes.</p><p>The participants had a busy program with internal presentations and discussions as well as a number of interesting talks from local stakeholders that gave many insights into recent history and current developments in the region. External talks included presentations by the &nbsp;BTU Energy Innovation Centre, Competence Centre on Climate Change Mitigation in Energy-Intensive Industries (KEI), PtX Lab, Referenzkraftwerk Lausitz GmbH, ASG Spremberg, Lausitz Science Park and the local development agency Wirtschaftsförderung Cottbus. A true highlight of the winter school was a visit to the open pit coal mine Welzow-Süd to see active mining of lignite and the LEAG company’s restoration efforts. The Winter School offered a great opportunity for the early career researchers to get new information about transformation processes in Lusatia, to network and to have a valuable interdisciplinary exchange.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philipp Eppe was a co-organizer and co-presenter of a <a href="https://abm4energy.de/program/" target="_blank" class="externalLink" title="Opens external link in new window" rel="noreferrer">workshop</a> “Fantastic Models and How to Make Them: A Beginner’s Guide to CaterFly”. The workshop was part of the ABM4Energy Conference on Agent-Based Modeling for Energy Economics and Energy Policy that was held in Freiburg (Germany) on March 21-22, 2024. The workshop’s goal was to bring together early-stage researchers who work at the intersection of agent-based modelling and behavioural science, with the energy transition as their main topic of interest. During two interactive exercises workshop participants gained insights into the impact of slight variations in behavioural rules of agents and into the challenges regarding the interface of ABM and behavioral science. Participants also shared their own approaches in integrating behavioural science in agent-based modelling and tried to find interconnections with other participants’ research.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <description>Press Release: Reaching Climate-Goals
&quot;Wärmewende Nordwest&quot;, a joint project which explores renewable heating solutions, starting April 2021, receives million-euro funding from German Ministry for Education and Research.</description>
                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Im April startet ein deutschlandweit bisher einmaliges Projekt, das sich umfänglich der Wärmewende als wichtigen Teil zur Erreichung der Klimaziele widmet. Insgesamt 16 Mio. Euro stellt das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) dem Konsortium aus 21 Partnern bis November 2025 zur Verfügung. Die Gelder dienen als Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbudget für das neue Verbundvorhaben „Wärmewende Nordwest“ (kurz WWNW). Weitere 3 Mio. Euro werden von den Partnern aus der Wirtschaft beigesteuert. Die Partner werden die Gelder in den kommenden Jahren für Digitalisierungskonzepte zur Umsetzung von Wärmewende- und Mehrwertanwendungen für Gebäude, Campus, Quartiere und Kommunen im Nordwesten nutzen. Ein Schwerpunkt wird in Bremen sein.</strong></p><p><strong>Oldenburg.</strong> Die Bundesregierung hat das Ziel, Treibhausemissionen um 80 Prozent bis 2050 gegenüber dem Niveau von 1990 zu reduzieren. Raumwärme, Prozesswärme und Warmwasser machen ungefähr die Hälfte des Energieverbrauchs in Deutschland aus. Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist es daher auch notwendig, die Wärmeversorgung umzugestalten, also eine Wärmewende voranzutreiben.&nbsp;</p><p>Gebäude- und Prozesswärme, sowohl im privaten als auch im gewerblichen und industriellen Sektor, soll in Zukunft deutlich weniger Kohlendioxid freisetzen. Neben dem Wechsel von fossilen auf erneuerbare Energien muss auch der Wärmeverbrauch insgesamt reduziert werden. Hier spielt neben der Sanierung der Gebäude auch die Digitalisierung eine zentrale Rolle. Mit dem Forschungsprojekt Wärmewende Nordwest, unter Koordination des Oldenburger Informatikinstituts OFFIS, soll die Digitalisierung der Wärmewende im Nordwesten um die Region Bremen/Oldenburg nun praktisch erforscht und digitale Konzepte in den Wärmesektor integriert werden.</p><h5>Sechs Forschungsfelder und zwei Querschnittsaktivitäten</h5><p>Die Forschungsfelder des Großprojektes beschäftigen sich mit der CO2-reduzierten Nahwärmeversorgung in Quartieren und auf Campusarealen, betrachten die Wärmeaggregation und überregionale Vermarktung durch Sektorenkopplung und kümmern sich um die Entwicklung digitaler Mehrwertdienste für die kommunale Wohnungswirtschaft auf Basis des Smart Meter Gateways (SMGW).&nbsp;</p><p>Außerdem werden in den Querschnittsaktivitäten zum einen IT-gestützte Plattformen entwickelt als auch das Thema Ausbildung- und Qualifizierung adressiert. Insgesamt 21 Projektpartner aus Wirtschaft und Forschung haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um Antworten auf drängende Zukunftsfragen zu finden.</p><h5>Wärmewender für Bremen</h5><p>In einem Forschungsfeld des Gesamtprojektes steht die Wärmewende für Bremen im Fokus. Die Projektpartner DLR e.V. – Institut für Vernetzte Energiesysteme, Fraunhofer IFAM, swb Services AG &amp; Co. KG, Universität Bremen und die Hochschule Bremen stellen sich hochaktuellen Fragen, wie sie bspw. im kürzlich erschienen&nbsp; Zwischenbericht der Enquetekommission „Klimaschutzstrategie für das Land Bremen“ Handlungsfelder zum Thema Klimaneutralität der Gebäude aufgeworfen wurden.</p><p>Um eine Transformation im großen Stil zu ermöglichen, entwickeln die Projektpartner eine möglichst datengestützte Prozesskette. Hierzu werden zunächst verschiedene Quartierstypen am Beispiel der Stadt Bremen identifiziert und deren Bedarfe ermittelt. Den betrachteten Quartieren in Bremen stehen auf der Seite der Versorgung lokale Erzeugungspotentiale auf verschiedenen Ebenen (Stadt, Stadtteil, Quartier) gegenüber. Ebenfalls berücksichtigt werden veränderliche Rahmenbedingungen: Eine Wärmeversorgung muss trotz Gesetzesänderungen, schwankenden Preisen und nicht zuletzt dem Klimawandel zukunftsfähig in Bezug auf den technischen und wirtschaftlichen Betrieb sein. Ein zu erarbeitender Katalog an klar definierten Kriterien ermöglicht den Vergleich vielfältiger Versorgungsoptionen. Auf dieser Basis werden Vorschläge zur zukünftigen Wärmeversorgung entwickelt. Aufbauend auf den Betrachtungen wird ein Leitfaden zur Umsetzung in weiteren Quartieren abgeleitet und veröffentlicht. Im Projekt werden schwerpunktmäßig öffentlich zugängliche Tools genutzt und weiterentwickelt, was eine Übertragbarkeit und Verwertung über das Projekt hinaus ermöglicht.</p><h4><br> Weiterführende Informationen</h4><h5>Über das Projekt</h5><p>Das Projekt – „Wärmewende Nordwest – Digitalisierung zur Umsetzung von Wärmewende- und Mehrwertanwendungen für Gebäude, Campus, Quartiere und Kommunen im Nordwesten“ (kurz WWNW) - wird aus Mitteln des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung im Rahmen des 7.

                            <description>On Thursday, September 12, the QUAREE100 joint project decided on the energy concept, which forms the basis for the upcoming planning for the constructional implementation in the existing quarter &quot;Rüsdorfer Kamp&quot;.</description>
                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quelle: <a href="https://quarree100.de/de/news/partnerversammlung/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://quarree100.de/de/news/partnerversammlung/</a></p><p><strong>Das Verbundvorhaben QUARREE100 hat einen wichtigen Meilenstein erreicht: Am Donnerstag, den 12. September, beschloss das Projekt im Rahmen der jährlichen Partnerversammlung das Energiekonzept. Dieses stellt ein zentrales Zwischenergebnis des bisherigen Forschungsprozesses dar und bildet die Grundlage für die nun anstehenden Planungen zur baulichen Umsetzung im Bestandsquartier „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ im schleswig-holsteinischen Heide.</strong></p><p>Rund eineinhalb Jahre nach dem offiziellen Kick-Off Ende Februar 2018, leitet das von den Bundesministerien für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) sowie Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) mit rund 24 Mio. Euro geförderte Verbundvorhaben die Umsetzungsphase ein. Die Grundlage hierfür bildet ein Energiekonzept, das unter Federführung des Steinbeis-Innovationszentrums Energie+ der TU Braunschweig entwickelt wurde. Die Projektpartner beschlossen das Konzept rund ein Jahr früher als ursprünglich geplant, um mehr Zeit für dessen Realisierung vor Ort zu erhalten. Als zentrale Maßnahme schlägt das Konzept die Errichtung eines Nahwärmenetzes für das 20 Hektar große Stadtquartier „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ mit derzeit rund 600 Einwohnerinnen und Einwohnern vor.</p><p>Vor dem Hintergrund der angestrebtem Umsetzung in dem städtebaulich äußert heterogenen und in Weiterentwicklung befindlichen Quartier, stellte die Konzeption einer auf CO2-Vermeidung und Systemdienlichkeit optimierten Betriebsweise eine besondere Herausforderung für das Projektteam dar. Hinzu kam der für das Projekt maßgebliche Resilienz-Ansatz: Dieser sieht vor, dass die Energieversorgung im Gebiet sowohl an aktuelle aber auch zukünftige, heute nicht abschließend zu bewertende technisch-regulatorische oder (städte-) bauliche Rahmenbedingungen angepasst werden kann. Das Ergebnis ist ein modular aufgebautes System, das sich flexibel auf technische oder wirtschaftliche Bedürfnisse von Kunden, Betreibern oder des Energiesystems insgesamt ausrichten lässt.</p><p>Dies wird bei Betrachtung der vorgesehenen technischen Hardware deutlich: Das Wärmenetz samt Speicher ist so ausgelegt, dass nicht nur die rund 180 Bestandsgebäude im Quartier, sondern auch zukünftig zu errichtende Neubauten versorgt werden können. Je nach Betriebsweise sollen unter anderem eine Elektrolyse, Wärmepumpenanlagen oder ein bivalent befeuertes BHKW einen Großteil der benötigten Wärme generieren. Die Wärmeerzeugung ist so konzipiert, dass Redundanzen eine hohe Versorgungssicherheit garantieren. Gleichzeitig werden Schnittstellen zu den Sektoren Elektrizität und Mobilität bereitgestellt.</p><p>Die Entwickler sprachen sich zudem für die Planung eines elektrischen Betriebsnetzes aus. Auf diese Weise soll es dem Betreiber ermöglicht werden, lokalen PV-Strom optimal in der zentralen Wärmeerzeugung nutzen zu können. Ergänzt wird das Konzept von einer Steuer- und Regelungstechnik, die einen optimierten Betrieb unter unterschiedlichen Szenarien und mit hoher Flexibilität für den Energiemarkt ermöglicht.</p><p>Das nun vorliegende Energiekonzept wurde innerhalb der vergangenen Monate mithilfe der insgesamt 20 Projektpartner Schritt für Schritt ausgearbeitet. Verschiedene Varianten wurden entwickelt, getestet, optimiert und fortgeschrieben, verglichen oder auch verworfen. Dieser Prozess setzte ich sich unter Einbindung der sieben Arbeitsbereiche und ihrer fachlichen Perspektiven soweit fort, bis das Konzept der Partnerversammlung zur Abstimmung vorgelegt wurde.</p><p>Auch die Bürgerinnen und Bürger des „Rüsdorfer Kamps“ und andere Interessierte aus der Stadt und Region Heide galt es vorab einzubeziehen: Im Rahmen eines Info-Abends Ende Juni hatten sie Gelegenheit, sich im persönlichen Gespräch mit den Fachleuten ein Bild von diesem komplexen Prozess zu machen. Dabei wurde unter anderem deutlich, dass viele Bürgerinnen und Bürger offen für neue Wege der Energieversorgung im Quartier sind – vorausgesetzt das Konzept basiert auf Freiwilligkeit und ist für die Menschen vor Ort bezahlbar.</p><p>Mit dem positiven Votum der Projektpartner steigt QUARREE100 nun die zweite Projektphase ein: Zusammen mit einem noch nicht feststehenden Betreiber muss das beschlossene Konzept in eine konkrete Betriebs- und Umsetzungsplanung überführt werden. Parallel dazu werden die Akquise zukünftiger Energieabnehmer sowie die Integration in die städtebaulichen Planungs- sowie weitere behördliche Genehmigungsprozesse anlaufen. In anderen Worten: Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen, in der Wissenschaft und Praxis aufeinandertreffen – für alle Beteiligten die vielleicht spannendste, aufschlussreichste und kritischste Phase des als „Reallabor“ angelegten Projektes QUARREE100.</p><p>QUARREE100 steht für „Quartiersentwicklung mit 100%iger Regenerativer Energie“ und ist ein im Rahmen der Förderinitiative „Energieeffiziente Stadt/ Solares Bauen“ von den Bundesministerien für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) sowie Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) gefördertes Forschungsprojekt. Es ist Teil des 6. Energieforschungsprogramms der Bundesregierung und wird im Zeitraum November 2017 bis Oktober 2022 von 20 Partnern aus ganz Deutschland mit Hilfe einer Gesamtförderung in Höhe von 24,4 Mio. Euro bearbeitet.</p><p>Gesamtverbundkoordinatoren sind das Advanced Energy Systems Institute der Universität Bremen AES und die Entwicklungsagentur Region Heide (EARH). Ziel ist die Entwicklung und Umsetzung einer zukunftsfähigen Energieversorgung des Stadtquartiers „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ in der Stadt Heide (22.000 Einwohner) an der Westküste von Schleswig-Holstein. Wie die fünf weiteren, ebenfalls von der Bundesregierung geförderten Projekte, zielt QUARREE100 auf eine Übertragbarkeit der Forschungsergebnisse auf andere Städte ab.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosme Polese Borges and his co-authors published a new article “Green hydrogen production in a semi-arid region: A system dynamics analysis of water supply alternatives” in Sustainable Futures.</p><p>This study applies a system dynamics model to examine how water-supply strategies—recycled water and seawater desalination—affect large-scale green hydrogen production in Ceará, Brazil, (2026–2050). Results show water architecture strongly shapes hydrogen output and operational burdens. Desalination scenarios produce moderate volumes (≈397–509 kt/year) but require the most energy and generate significant brine loads, increasing coastal pressures. A transitional mix yields the lowest output (≈252 kt/year) due to poorly aligned infrastructure expansion. In contrast, a fully circular recycled-water scenario delivers the highest production (≈862 kt/year), eliminates brine discharge and reduces energy intensity. The findings highlight water governance as a strategic factor for equitable, sustainable hydrogen development in semi-arid regions.<br>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How is hydrogen advancing the energy transition in Bremen – and what role does research play in this? We discussed this on January 14, 2026, at a special meeting of the Deputation for Economic Affairs &amp; Ports and hyBit in the DIGITAL HUB INDUSTRY Bremen. After an overview of current projects in Bremen and Bremerhaven (including core network connection, Hydrogen Valley), Torben Stührmann provided insight into hyBit research. A key finding: transformation needs guidance. This is where hyBit comes in – with digital tools, reliable data, and participatory formats that help simplify complex decisions and enable scaling.<br>A special highlight of the visit was a tour of our Virtual Transformation Lab (VTL). Here, we develop interactive, data-based, and participatory formats that enable transparent and traceable decisions.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <description>A new paper by Cosme Polese Borges published in Renewable Energy.</description>
                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FGRES research fellow Cosme Polese Borges recenty published <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960148125027909?dgcid=coauthor" target="_blank" class="external-link" rel="noreferrer">an article</a> titled “Beyond payback time: Understanding residential preferences for distributed solar PV in southern Brazil” in Renewable Energy. The paper, co-authored by Brazilian (Federal University of Santa Catarina) and North American (Michigan State University) researchers, uses a discrete choice experiment and demonstrates that non-financial factors such as installation warranties, technical assistance, and access to decentralized energy grids are as influential as simple cost recovery in shaping residential solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption. The findings are particularly relevant for fast-developing countries, where infrastructure gaps persist and regulatory frameworks often evolve more slowly than technological diffusion. In such contexts, decentralized PV systems can meaningfully support energy transitions when embedded within robust governance arrangements, service provision, and institutional support structures. The study aligns with the FGRES research perspective that energy systems are broader sociotechnical systems, in which end-users play an active role in shaping adoption dynamics, system resilience, and long-term sustainability outcomes.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thirteen early career researchers from the hyBit project participated in a hyBit Winter School in Cottbus on November 24-28, 2025. The group included five FGRES team members – Cristina Oballe, Olga Masyutina, Cosme Polese Borges, Karl Fehrs and Jannes Katner. The objective of the Winter School was to learn about industrial transformation and the development of a hydrogen economy in the region of Lusatia – a region that has depended heavily on coal mining and energy-intensive industries, and is now undergoing significant structural changes.</p><p>The participants had a busy program with internal presentations and discussions as well as a number of interesting talks from local stakeholders that gave many insights into recent history and current developments in the region. External talks included presentations by the &nbsp;BTU Energy Innovation Centre, Competence Centre on Climate Change Mitigation in Energy-Intensive Industries (KEI), PtX Lab, Referenzkraftwerk Lausitz GmbH, ASG Spremberg, Lausitz Science Park and the local development agency Wirtschaftsförderung Cottbus. A true highlight of the winter school was a visit to the open pit coal mine Welzow-Süd to see active mining of lignite and the LEAG company’s restoration efforts. The Winter School offered a great opportunity for the early career researchers to get new information about transformation processes in Lusatia, to network and to have a valuable interdisciplinary exchange.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

The workshop was part of the ABM4Energy Conference on Agent-Based Modeling for Energy Economics and Energy Policy that was held in Freiburg (Germany) on March 21-22, 2024. The workshop’s goal was to bring together early-stage researchers who work at the intersection of agent-based modelling and behavioural science, with the energy transition as their main topic of interest. During two interactive exercises workshop participants gained insights into the impact of slight variations in behavioural rules of agents and into the challenges regarding the interface of ABM and behavioral science. Participants also shared their own approaches in integrating behavioural science in agent-based modelling and tried to find interconnections with other participants’ research.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

                            <description>Press Release: Reaching Climate-Goals
&quot;Wärmewende Nordwest&quot;, a joint project which explores renewable heating solutions, starting April 2021, receives million-euro funding from German Ministry for Education and Research.</description>
                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Im April startet ein deutschlandweit bisher einmaliges Projekt, das sich umfänglich der Wärmewende als wichtigen Teil zur Erreichung der Klimaziele widmet. Insgesamt 16 Mio. Euro stellt das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) dem Konsortium aus 21 Partnern bis November 2025 zur Verfügung. Die Gelder dienen als Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbudget für das neue Verbundvorhaben „Wärmewende Nordwest“ (kurz WWNW). Weitere 3 Mio. Euro werden von den Partnern aus der Wirtschaft beigesteuert. Die Partner werden die Gelder in den kommenden Jahren für Digitalisierungskonzepte zur Umsetzung von Wärmewende- und Mehrwertanwendungen für Gebäude, Campus, Quartiere und Kommunen im Nordwesten nutzen. Ein Schwerpunkt wird in Bremen sein.</strong></p><p><strong>Oldenburg.</strong> Die Bundesregierung hat das Ziel, Treibhausemissionen um 80 Prozent bis 2050 gegenüber dem Niveau von 1990 zu reduzieren. Raumwärme, Prozesswärme und Warmwasser machen ungefähr die Hälfte des Energieverbrauchs in Deutschland aus. Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist es daher auch notwendig, die Wärmeversorgung umzugestalten, also eine Wärmewende voranzutreiben.&nbsp;</p><p>Gebäude- und Prozesswärme, sowohl im privaten als auch im gewerblichen und industriellen Sektor, soll in Zukunft deutlich weniger Kohlendioxid freisetzen. Neben dem Wechsel von fossilen auf erneuerbare Energien muss auch der Wärmeverbrauch insgesamt reduziert werden. Hier spielt neben der Sanierung der Gebäude auch die Digitalisierung eine zentrale Rolle. Mit dem Forschungsprojekt Wärmewende Nordwest, unter Koordination des Oldenburger Informatikinstituts OFFIS, soll die Digitalisierung der Wärmewende im Nordwesten um die Region Bremen/Oldenburg nun praktisch erforscht und digitale Konzepte in den Wärmesektor integriert werden.</p><h5>Sechs Forschungsfelder und zwei Querschnittsaktivitäten</h5><p>Die Forschungsfelder des Großprojektes beschäftigen sich mit der CO2-reduzierten Nahwärmeversorgung in Quartieren und auf Campusarealen, betrachten die Wärmeaggregation und überregionale Vermarktung durch Sektorenkopplung und kümmern sich um die Entwicklung digitaler Mehrwertdienste für die kommunale Wohnungswirtschaft auf Basis des Smart Meter Gateways (SMGW).&nbsp;</p><p>Außerdem werden in den Querschnittsaktivitäten zum einen IT-gestützte Plattformen entwickelt als auch das Thema Ausbildung- und Qualifizierung adressiert. Insgesamt 21 Projektpartner aus Wirtschaft und Forschung haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um Antworten auf drängende Zukunftsfragen zu finden.</p><h5>Wärmewender für Bremen</h5><p>In einem Forschungsfeld des Gesamtprojektes steht die Wärmewende für Bremen im Fokus. Die Projektpartner DLR e.V. – Institut für Vernetzte Energiesysteme, Fraunhofer IFAM, swb Services AG &amp; Co. KG, Universität Bremen und die Hochschule Bremen stellen sich hochaktuellen Fragen, wie sie bspw. im kürzlich erschienen&nbsp; Zwischenbericht der Enquetekommission „Klimaschutzstrategie für das Land Bremen“ Handlungsfelder zum Thema Klimaneutralität der Gebäude aufgeworfen wurden.</p><p>Um eine Transformation im großen Stil zu ermöglichen, entwickeln die Projektpartner eine möglichst datengestützte Prozesskette. Hierzu werden zunächst verschiedene Quartierstypen am Beispiel der Stadt Bremen identifiziert und deren Bedarfe ermittelt. Den betrachteten Quartieren in Bremen stehen auf der Seite der Versorgung lokale Erzeugungspotentiale auf verschiedenen Ebenen (Stadt, Stadtteil, Quartier) gegenüber. Ebenfalls berücksichtigt werden veränderliche Rahmenbedingungen: Eine Wärmeversorgung muss trotz Gesetzesänderungen, schwankenden Preisen und nicht zuletzt dem Klimawandel zukunftsfähig in Bezug auf den technischen und wirtschaftlichen Betrieb sein. Ein zu erarbeitender Katalog an klar definierten Kriterien ermöglicht den Vergleich vielfältiger Versorgungsoptionen. Auf dieser Basis werden Vorschläge zur zukünftigen Wärmeversorgung entwickelt. Aufbauend auf den Betrachtungen wird ein Leitfaden zur Umsetzung in weiteren Quartieren abgeleitet und veröffentlicht. Im Projekt werden schwerpunktmäßig öffentlich zugängliche Tools genutzt und weiterentwickelt, was eine Übertragbarkeit und Verwertung über das Projekt hinaus ermöglicht.</p><h4><br> Weiterführende Informationen</h4><h5>Über das Projekt</h5><p>Das Projekt – „Wärmewende Nordwest – Digitalisierung zur Umsetzung von Wärmewende- und Mehrwertanwendungen für Gebäude, Campus, Quartiere und Kommunen im Nordwesten“ (kurz WWNW) - wird aus Mitteln des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung im Rahmen des 7.

                            <description>On Thursday, September 12, the QUAREE100 joint project decided on the energy concept, which forms the basis for the upcoming planning for the constructional implementation in the existing quarter &quot;Rüsdorfer Kamp&quot;.</description>
                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quelle: <a href="https://quarree100.de/de/news/partnerversammlung/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://quarree100.de/de/news/partnerversammlung/</a></p><p><strong>Das Verbundvorhaben QUARREE100 hat einen wichtigen Meilenstein erreicht: Am Donnerstag, den 12. September, beschloss das Projekt im Rahmen der jährlichen Partnerversammlung das Energiekonzept. Dieses stellt ein zentrales Zwischenergebnis des bisherigen Forschungsprozesses dar und bildet die Grundlage für die nun anstehenden Planungen zur baulichen Umsetzung im Bestandsquartier „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ im schleswig-holsteinischen Heide.</strong></p><p>Rund eineinhalb Jahre nach dem offiziellen Kick-Off Ende Februar 2018, leitet das von den Bundesministerien für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) sowie Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) mit rund 24 Mio. Euro geförderte Verbundvorhaben die Umsetzungsphase ein. Die Grundlage hierfür bildet ein Energiekonzept, das unter Federführung des Steinbeis-Innovationszentrums Energie+ der TU Braunschweig entwickelt wurde. Die Projektpartner beschlossen das Konzept rund ein Jahr früher als ursprünglich geplant, um mehr Zeit für dessen Realisierung vor Ort zu erhalten. Als zentrale Maßnahme schlägt das Konzept die Errichtung eines Nahwärmenetzes für das 20 Hektar große Stadtquartier „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ mit derzeit rund 600 Einwohnerinnen und Einwohnern vor.</p><p>Vor dem Hintergrund der angestrebtem Umsetzung in dem städtebaulich äußert heterogenen und in Weiterentwicklung befindlichen Quartier, stellte die Konzeption einer auf CO2-Vermeidung und Systemdienlichkeit optimierten Betriebsweise eine besondere Herausforderung für das Projektteam dar. Hinzu kam der für das Projekt maßgebliche Resilienz-Ansatz: Dieser sieht vor, dass die Energieversorgung im Gebiet sowohl an aktuelle aber auch zukünftige, heute nicht abschließend zu bewertende technisch-regulatorische oder (städte-) bauliche Rahmenbedingungen angepasst werden kann. Das Ergebnis ist ein modular aufgebautes System, das sich flexibel auf technische oder wirtschaftliche Bedürfnisse von Kunden, Betreibern oder des Energiesystems insgesamt ausrichten lässt.</p><p>Dies wird bei Betrachtung der vorgesehenen technischen Hardware deutlich: Das Wärmenetz samt Speicher ist so ausgelegt, dass nicht nur die rund 180 Bestandsgebäude im Quartier, sondern auch zukünftig zu errichtende Neubauten versorgt werden können. Je nach Betriebsweise sollen unter anderem eine Elektrolyse, Wärmepumpenanlagen oder ein bivalent befeuertes BHKW einen Großteil der benötigten Wärme generieren. Die Wärmeerzeugung ist so konzipiert, dass Redundanzen eine hohe Versorgungssicherheit garantieren. Gleichzeitig werden Schnittstellen zu den Sektoren Elektrizität und Mobilität bereitgestellt.</p><p>Die Entwickler sprachen sich zudem für die Planung eines elektrischen Betriebsnetzes aus. Auf diese Weise soll es dem Betreiber ermöglicht werden, lokalen PV-Strom optimal in der zentralen Wärmeerzeugung nutzen zu können. Ergänzt wird das Konzept von einer Steuer- und Regelungstechnik, die einen optimierten Betrieb unter unterschiedlichen Szenarien und mit hoher Flexibilität für den Energiemarkt ermöglicht.</p><p>Das nun vorliegende Energiekonzept wurde innerhalb der vergangenen Monate mithilfe der insgesamt 20 Projektpartner Schritt für Schritt ausgearbeitet. Verschiedene Varianten wurden entwickelt, getestet, optimiert und fortgeschrieben, verglichen oder auch verworfen. Dieser Prozess setzte ich sich unter Einbindung der sieben Arbeitsbereiche und ihrer fachlichen Perspektiven soweit fort, bis das Konzept der Partnerversammlung zur Abstimmung vorgelegt wurde.</p><p>Auch die Bürgerinnen und Bürger des „Rüsdorfer Kamps“ und andere Interessierte aus der Stadt und Region Heide galt es vorab einzubeziehen: Im Rahmen eines Info-Abends Ende Juni hatten sie Gelegenheit, sich im persönlichen Gespräch mit den Fachleuten ein Bild von diesem komplexen Prozess zu machen. Dabei wurde unter anderem deutlich, dass viele Bürgerinnen und Bürger offen für neue Wege der Energieversorgung im Quartier sind – vorausgesetzt das Konzept basiert auf Freiwilligkeit und ist für die Menschen vor Ort bezahlbar.</p><p>Mit dem positiven Votum der Projektpartner steigt QUARREE100 nun die zweite Projektphase ein: Zusammen mit einem noch nicht feststehenden Betreiber muss das beschlossene Konzept in eine konkrete Betriebs- und Umsetzungsplanung überführt werden. Parallel dazu werden die Akquise zukünftiger Energieabnehmer sowie die Integration in die städtebaulichen Planungs- sowie weitere behördliche Genehmigungsprozesse anlaufen. In anderen Worten: Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen, in der Wissenschaft und Praxis aufeinandertreffen – für alle Beteiligten die vielleicht spannendste, aufschlussreichste und kritischste Phase des als „Reallabor“ angelegten Projektes QUARREE100.</p><p>QUARREE100 steht für „Quartiersentwicklung mit 100%iger Regenerativer Energie“ und ist ein im Rahmen der Förderinitiative „Energieeffiziente Stadt/ Solares Bauen“ von den Bundesministerien für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) sowie Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) gefördertes Forschungsprojekt. Es ist Teil des 6. Energieforschungsprogramms der Bundesregierung und wird im Zeitraum November 2017 bis Oktober 2022 von 20 Partnern aus ganz Deutschland mit Hilfe einer Gesamtförderung in Höhe von 24,4 Mio. Euro bearbeitet.</p><p>Gesamtverbundkoordinatoren sind das Advanced Energy Systems Institute der Universität Bremen AES und die Entwicklungsagentur Region Heide (EARH). Ziel ist die Entwicklung und Umsetzung einer zukunftsfähigen Energieversorgung des Stadtquartiers „Rüsdorfer Kamp“ in der Stadt Heide (22.000 Einwohner) an der Westküste von Schleswig-Holstein. Wie die fünf weiteren, ebenfalls von der Bundesregierung geförderten Projekte, zielt QUARREE100 auf eine Übertragbarkeit der Forschungsergebnisse auf andere Städte ab.</p>]]></content:encoded>
